Sexual harassment has been an entrenched problem in the workplace. Using the 2016 Merit Principles Survey from the US Merit Systems Protection Board, this study advances our understanding of the formal reporting of workplace sexual harassment by focusing on the crucial roles of coworker support and organization-based self-esteem. The findings show that both coworker support and organization-based self-esteem provide a sense of an individual’s worth to the organization, and eventually lead to a positive impact on the perceived effectiveness of formal reporting, as well as an indirect effect, through influence on the procedural justice perceptions of the formal reporting system. This study highlights the importance of establishing both a supportive work-group climate and a respectful and inclusive working environment in order to give employees the confidence to formally report incidences of sexual harassment.
